That is one Awesome piece of work. I can only hope that I can one day, get my work up to the level that you are at. Fantastic design and implementation.
News: Had a couple issues with the forum today. 1/19/2017. I believe I have them corrected now. Let me know if you have any trouble. Thanks.

Decided to try some patterns that were printed in the June 2013 issue of Creative Woodworks and Crafts magazine. Figured I had better since the Wife liked the way they looked and asked me to make them. Patterns are from Bruce Worthington
Rose is made with Poplar, Aromatic Cedar and a Birch plywood backing
Wildflowers made with Poplar, Maple, and Birch Ply.
Tiger Lily made with Poplar, Mahogany, and Birch Ply.
These were really easy and I would easily recommend them for anyone that wants to try Intarsia for a first project.

I use a drill press for my mop.

Labor day was a shop day as we had no plans. I began this project in the early morn, and by bedtime, I had put the first two coats of finish on it. Very busy day, but I learned several things doing this one. Its the first time I have added texture, which I did with a Dremel and grinding wheel attachment. Its also the first one I have re33ally used raising shims to get the 3D effect. All in all, This was a fun one to make.
Made with Poplar, Aspen and Walnut.

This one is a Kathy Wise pattern. I used Poplar, Mahogany, Walnut, Aspen, Yellow Heart, and Maple.
Just bought my first Sanding Mop and used it on this one for the first time. I should have gotten one long ago...it takes the place of long hours of hand sanding.

Another Judy Gale Roberts Design. I used Poplar, Walnut, Mahogany, Aspen, and Maple. The frame is 5/4 Cedar
This was a fun one, and ended up having the tightest fits of any project I have done to date. Very well pleased with is and especially with the wood choices for the sky and water. (Both are Poplar)

« on: July 08, 2013, 03:25:57 am »that's a beauty.
For pricing, I was told that Intarsia works usually sell for $3-5 per piece in the work. Don't know if that makes sense in your case.
So with 53 pieces of wood, I would be looking at $159-$265 Wow...that's a wide range. I suppose a lot would depend on the wood used. Many of the exotic hardwoods are very expensive.

I spent a good part of Saturday and Sunday working on this Judy Gale Roberts pattern. I used Aromatic Cedar, Oak, Walnut, Poplar, Bloodwood, Western Cedar, Mahogany, and Pau Amarillo. Size is 20 x 14 inches. Now all I need to do is come up with a fair price for it.
I currently have about 5 more patterns of Judy's so now I have to decide which one to do next.
